German Grub!!!

Last night I had the most amazing meal. Friends and Family gave there helping hands in the preparation of an amazing home cooked German meal. The evening started off with homemade giant stuffed mushrooms.





Ginny was the master chef on the mushroom duty. Toasting fresh bread for the breadcrumbs, followed by mincing a ton of fresh garlic, then putting all the magic in a mixing bowl and making some yummy goodness.





Since I don't care much for the fungi family, I just ate the yummy stuffing. Elizabeth was carefully slicing ever so finely fresh cucumbers for cucumber salad which was tossed with a roasted hazelnut olive oil.









Lisa was mixing a batch of flour goo for our homemade Spaetzle. We acquired a vintage Spaetzle maker from an old friend who so graciously gave it to us. It was her mother's, so you know that it has seen some serious German cooking throughout its lifetime.




















I don't know if you have ever heard of Wickles or tried them but I tried them for the first time last night and here is the result.








So now you have seen the cause and effect of these little wicked pickles.









For the main course we had what we call Steak Birds. This consist of a round steak browned, wrapped around a pickle and cooked in a mustard sauce. YUMMY!!!The recipe typically calls for a homemade mustard sauce but we love the Central Markets Mustard Remoulade. It is a bit spicy but super super tasty.



This wonderful meal was followed by some fresh plums and apricots with warm Brie!!!!
What a way to end a wonderful Saturday Night!!!
